The moment the button was pressed, a semi-transparent barrier suddenly descended from the ceiling of the entryway. Upon seeing the workmanship of this screen, Shen Dingkun immediately thought of Wei Su.

The Wei family has a branch company that deals with this kind of high technology. They have always served important figures. Presumably, this feature in the apartment that Jiang Tian rented was installed by Wei Su for her.

It's truly baffling what kind of bewitching drug this woman gave Wei Su. This man was always afraid that she would suffer the slightest grievance. Installing such a device in this ordinary residential area, which is considered to be a place where middle-class people live, is undoubtedly using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

If Shen Dingkun put himself in Shen Dingkun's shoes, he would never waste money like that.

But no matter how much he thought about it, it couldn't stop Wei Su from cherishing Jiang Tian dearly.

It's fine that this kind of device is installed in the villa. Shen Dingkun silently looked at Jiang Tian beside him. This woman has been pampered for so long, why did she have to move out and suffer? Su Hanze definitely didn't divorce her on his own initiative.

Why does she insist on valuing the spiritual over the material?

His gaze unconsciously lingered on her.

After all, his wife, the woman he truly cared for, made a completely different plan from Jiang Tian.

Zhao Mingyao seems to have lost herself in money.

Jiang Tian ignored Shen Dingkun's strange gaze. She isolated Shen Dingkun and Qianqian in a safe area and stayed alone in the front hall.

While Shen Dingkun was pondering the problem, he didn't expect that the screen would actually separate him from Jiang Tian.

When he realized what was happening, his expression immediately changed.

"Come here and let me go out. You're a woman, you don't need to put yourself in such danger."

However, he received no response.

The footsteps outside the door were getting closer.

Jiang Tian stood at the door with a blank expression.

Soon, a man wearing a baseball cap slammed into the door, the gleaming fruit knife in his hand stinging the eyes in the peephole's reflection.

It was obvious that the other party had come prepared.

I just don't know whose orders he was given to come and harm people.

"Step back!" Jiang Tian whispered to Shen Dingkun behind her.

Shen Dingkun's forehead was covered in sweat; this woman was causing him far too much worry.

What was she thinking? How could she dare to deal with the criminals all by herself?

As he was pondering, Jiang Tian pulled out a telescopic baton from the side of a cabinet—this was her hidden backup weapon, which she rarely took out.

When the man realized he couldn't break down the door, he pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and slipped it under the door. It read in crooked red pen: "Get out here yourself, or neither you nor your daughter will have a good end!"

Jiang Tian's expression remained unchanged.

She looked through the peephole and pressed another button.

Just then, an alarm loud enough to pierce someone's eardrums sounded!

In the flashing red light, the man's panicked profile was clearly captured by the surveillance camera!

"Alright, we're safe now. We're not the ones who should be worried."

Watching the man flee in panic, Jiang Tian turned around and brought the father and daughter back together. The semi-transparent barrier also disappeared.

Before long, the sound of sirens grew louder as they approached.

"I simultaneously transmitted the footage to the property management. I estimate they've already called the police, so you don't need to worry. The police will handle these issues."

Shen Dingkun was suddenly speechless.

After all, he had already made up his mind; he intended to protect Jiang Tian.

But Jiang Tian didn't need his protection; instead, she protected the father and daughter instead.

A strange feeling inexplicably arose in his heart, and he couldn't shake it off.

Looking at Jiang Tian's straight back and calm face from behind her father, Qianqian suddenly remembered what her mother often told her: "This world is conquered by men. As my daughter, you have already reached a very high position, so you should conquer those men even more. We outstanding women should do nothing and be able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor."

Not only that, Zhao Mingyao often told Qianqian, "Women need to be gentle to be protected," and "You must always maintain a ladylike demeanor, otherwise no man will like a tomboy."

Such words naturally have a huge impact on a young child.

But Qianqian did not agree with her mother's idea.

But she couldn't find a suitable example to refute her mother's line of reasoning.

In her daily life, her social circle was too small, and she couldn't find anyone suitable to compete with the successful woman her mother described.

But today, the sudden appearance of a thug and Jiang Tian's reaction filled Qianqian's eyes with light.

To young Qianqian, this aunt who could press buttons, protect her with a stick, and solve all problems independently with a calm voice was like a fairy.

At this moment, Qianqian realized the reality of the world she lived in for the first time: the so-called successful women her mother talked about had simply handed over the reins of their lives to others and chosen to drift with the tide; while truly successful women never relinquish their initiative. A woman's courage is not about waiting for others to open the door or stand in front of her with open arms, but about gripping her own weapon to protect everyone—not just a weapon, but a key that can illuminate the world.

Qianqian looked at Jiang Tian and couldn't help but hug her.

"Auntie, you're amazing, I like you so much."

Jiang Tian paused for a moment, then smiled: "I'm glad you like me, but what you should do is like yourself first."

Qianqian thought to herself, if she could be as brave as the aunt in front of her, instead of always running away from difficulties and enduring her mother's accusations, when she dared to speak and act, then... she should like her too.

Seeing his daughter so close to Jiang Tian, ​​a hint of relief flashed in Shen Dingkun's eyes.

He really doesn't know how to raise his daughter. If there's anyone who can help him and make his daughter better, he will definitely try his best to repay that person.

And now, this person has appeared...

The burglar who attempted to break in was quickly apprehended.

Jiang Tian and the other two, as victims, went to the police station to give statements.

By the time they came out, night had fallen.

"Is Wei Su coming to pick you up?"

Jiang Tian shook her head and looked down at Qianqian: "I asked a friend to send a driver to pick up Sister An'an. She's playing at another child's house now. Shall we go pick her up together? An'an must really like you. Don't you remember how she always held your hand and played with you at the party?"

Qianqian was willing to come over, and An'an played an important role in that; she just wanted to come and play with her older sister An'an.

An'an is naturally friendly among children and is truly a heartthrob, even Qianqian is no exception.

"Can we go find her?"

"sure."

"Then I want to go find Sister An'an."

Jiang Tian touched her hair.
